Boys Soccer:

Dear Canyon Soccer Family:

My name is Mark Yin, and I’m the head coach for Canyon Middle School’s Girls and

Boys soccer teams. This note will provide you with information about the upcoming

Boys soccer tryouts scheduled for March 11-13.

Schedule:

Monday, March 11, 3:30-5pm

Tuesday, March 12, 3:30-5pm

Wednesday, March 13, 2:30-4pm

Location:

Canyon Middle School Field (behind the gym). Note: It’s possible the location may be

changed to another Canyon field; any changes will be communicated as we get closer

to the tryout date.

We have three days of tryouts scheduled but, depending on the size of the player pool,

tryouts could be completed in fewer days. If tryouts end early, then we will begin

practice the next day. If tryouts require the full three days, then we will begin practice on

Thursday, March 14, 3:30-5pm.

Here are some informational points for your reference:

Forming the Team

One team, with a roster of 17-19 student-athletes, will be formed. It is our goal to select

student-athletes from all three grades to form the team. While the middle school soccer

league is an “8 th -Grade league” (based on oldest age group), we promote continuity in

Canyon’s team culture by having all three age groups represented year-to-year.

Student Athlete Packets

To participate in tryouts, each student must complete a Student Athlete Packet on

Sportsnet. If you know of a family whose child would like to tryout but who has not

received this message, you may direct them to Canyon’s Athletics webpage where they

can find instructions for how to do this:

https://sites.google.com/a/cv.k12.ca.us/canyonathletics

Academics and Citizenship

School sports are considered an extension of the classroom, so student-athletes are

required to always demonstrate respect for themselves and for others, and to be in

good academic standing. Student-athletes who do not abide by these standards will not

be permitted to tryout.


Equipment & Medications

Tryout candidates must be properly equipped. At minimum, each student should have

cleated soccer shoes and shin guards. They will not be allowed to participate in tryouts

if they come without these items. Additionally, it is suggested that students wear clothing

that is appropriate for athletic activity.

Students should bring extra water, their bronchodilator (as for asthma, etc.), contact

lenses or sports goggles, and any other items appropriate for them to engage in athletic

activity.

Environmental Conditions

Tryouts will proceed if we have light rain. Extreme environmental conditions, including

excessive heat or rain, lightning, wildfire smoke, etc., will result in moving the tryout

indoors to the gym. If we move to the gym, then the tryout time will most likely be

changed to later in the day since other Canyon sports will already be using the gym

after school. Moving to the gym will also require that tryout candidates bring flat-soled

athletic shoes (i.e., indoor soccer shoes, tennis or running shoes, etc.) to be used on

the wooden gym floor. Crocs, Birkenstocks, flip-flops, dress shoes, hiking boots, etc.,

are not allowed due to concerns for student safety and floor damage. I will send an

email as we get closer to the tryout date if there is a change in schedule or location.

Schedule Overlaps and Communication

Many of our tryout candidates also play on a competitive club team, and occasionally

there will be a schedule overlap between school and club soccer. The scheduling issue

can be easily resolved with proper communication by the student’s family with me and

with their club coach. I ask that comp and rec players who have schedule conflicts come

to at least two tryout days. In the many years that I have been coaching at Canyon, I

have found that club coaches are very accommodating, with the key factor being for

families to maintain communication with school and club about their needs. Please let

me know by the first tryout day if you need a schedule accommodation.

I look forward to meeting your student-athlete at soccer tryouts. If you have any

questions, please feel welcome to contact me via email.

Thank you for your time in reviewing this information!

Regards,

Coach Mark Yin
